PLSSQuarterSections_GCDB is the third level of a hierarchical breakdown of the Public Land Survey System Rectangular surveys. This data is Version 2.3 2020 of the Utah PLSS Fabric. This data set represents the GIS Version of the Public Land Survey System. Updates are expected annually as horizontal control positions from published sources and global positioning system (GPS) observations are added. The primary source for the data is cadastral survey records housed by the BLM supplemented with local records and geographic control coordinates from states, counties as well as other federal agencies such as the USGS and USFS. This data was originally published on 1/3/2017.
This is no longer a standard and is now published as a Reference layer. This data is derived from the Second Division of the PLSS which includes quarter, quarter-quarter, sixteenth or government lot division of the PLSS.
Updates were made to Quarter Sections in Utah County to add quarter sections to areas that were not broken down less than the Section level. They were added using information from points collected by county surveyors, that is in the data and extrapolating information from adjoining sections wherever possible. They are still areas that could not be interpreted well enough and they were left empty, beyond the section level.
Quarter Sections were consolidated from the Quarter Quarter Sections to better represent the four quarters in all Aliquot Part areas. Areas with Lots or Special Surveys remain as is.
